Himalayan Dog
This dog just appeared out of nowhere and followed us for an entire week during our trekking trip in the Himalayan outback. He always used to sleep in front of our tent and guarded us in the nights. When I decided to get up at 4 a.m. to climb the next 5000 m peak for sunrise he accompanied me as well. On the top he was sitting for the entire 30 minutes on this place looking straight into the countryside. — Photo and caption by Sebastian Wahlhuetter

The Floating Island
There is an ethereal, other-worldly feeling to this photograph as this little island, in the middle of a northern British Columbia lake, appears as if to be floating in the clouds. To bring us back to Earth, s fish has left a ripple in the water in the left hand side of the shot. The scene was amazing to witness, let alone be lucky enough to photograph – totally right place at the right time. — Photo and caption by Shane Kalyn

Winter Light – Svolvaer, Lofoten Islands
Sitting above the Arctic Circle with a latitude of 68°, the Lofoten islands is a dark place to visit in January. I only experienced a few hours of light each day, with the sun refusing to lift above the horizon. But when it was light, it was magical, with the island bathed in beautiful soft and atmospheric polar light. This was taken at 1.30pm as the light started to disappear from the island’s capital. — Photo and caption by Kellie Netherwood

Monkeys of the Taj
There is something incredible about the moment you make eye contact with wildlife… Like this one instance when I was outside the Taj Mahal in India. This beautiful mother monkey and her baby looked straight at me, and I was able to catch it before they jumped to another tree. — Photo and caption by Tessa Kit Zawadzki

Direct Eye Contact with a Cormorant
There are three cormorants that regularly fish by my house. Over time, by approaching them slowly, they trust my very close presence. Their eyes are so mesmerizing that I shot this with a very narrow DOF to bring the viewers eyes directly to that of the cormorant’s. I entered this in spontaneous moments in that as I was shooting the bird, he suddenly turned towards me directly looking at me adding to the impact of the shot. — Photo and caption by Sandy Scott
